It can Only be used in heading hold mode as far as I know.

That is correct, heading hold mode only. It helps to have a G view because the gain setting in your tx will definitely most likely not be the actual gain on the gyro. For instance, you can have your Tx sending out a rate mode gain value but the gyro wont care, it will see something different that correlates to a heading hold gain. Also, if your Tx is telling you that you have x-value of heading hold gain, again, the gyro may correlate that to something else. So dont think that just because you have a gain value in your tx of 38 like the Solid G says to start with that the gyro is actually at 38.

I running the same set up as you with the exception that for servo 9254 not an 8900 Gain is set at POS 0 75% POS 1 70% with radix 92mm blades.
I did have to dial down the stopping speed. I forget now which value I changed but did need the Gview to get into it. Stock setting when stopping from a fast Piro would almost make me pi$$ me pants it stopped so hard and fast, I'm sure my tail was groaning after I tried it.

Yes, I have mine set to about 20% on the X9303.

Curtis has said that running expo is no problem and alot of the futuba guys trying his gyro use expo to give that deadband feel not as twitchy around center I don't use any and I switched from a 611 after I got use to it I liked the touchyness around center

weekend yet?

you can shoot buzzin brian a pm he knows that gyro inside out and backwards he should be able to help with it and with a G view there are ways to soften start and stop in the gyro programming hope that helps .AWESOME gyro by the way

S76 mech, There is a neutral point function in the setting menu, where it will put the servo to center. You adjust the linkage length in that function. There is no need for trimming with the solid-g. Two possible way of adjustment, one is to adjust the servo neutral to be the zero pitch point on the tail blades. The other is to center the tail pitch slider on the tail shaft with the servo in neutral position. Both way works for me.

Just to check with you guys using the solid-g, how do you guys take off? I get this problem whereby the tail will spin around fast upon spooling up because the gyro registers the movement from carrying the heli to the flight line. Do you just wiggle the stick before spooling up?
